Scientific paper

GLAST Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a next generation high-energy gamma-ray observatory designed for making observations of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy band extending from 20 MeV to 300 GeV. The LAT telescope consists of a four-by-four array of tower modules and the gamma detection is based on the pair conversion principle. Each tower module consists of interleaved planes of silicon-strip detectors and converter sheets. Silicon-strip detectors are able to precisely track the electron or positron produced from the initial gamma-ray. In order to reproduce the tracker digital signal read-out, a full simulation code has been developed to describe all the physical process that take place in a silicon strip detector (SSD). The standalone C++ version of the code has been interfaced with the G4 simulation of the LAT. The preliminary results from the tracker simulation will be shown.
